4.9/5 (17478 ratings)

Description:Excerpt from A Century of Expansion The purport of the term "expansion" is sometimes carelessly misunderstood. It is, apparently, supposed to apply to nothing but acquisition of territory, and to that of recent date; to wit, our annexation of Porto Rico and the Philippines. Such a conception is inadequate and misleading. Expansion is no new thing, and it is not measured by any geographical scale. Its history begins with the history of the nation, and both its causes and its effects are intimately intertwined with almost every fibre of our national being. The expansion of the human body is a process of physical growth which is maintained incessantly so long as vitality is in the ascendant. When growth ceases the man begins to die. Moreover, it involves something far more than increase of physical bulk and stature. It is accompanied by a corresponding and, indeed, largely consequent development of the intellectual and spiritual nature. We may not say that the mind and soul are always developed commensurately with the physical body. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
